Monitored tournaments, for example from the ICU calendar, are not available for viewing on the UCU site though games are reported under players game history.

Competitions from 2014 get included as new players are inducted and their old games become ratable.

Members are encouraged to report their performances in tournaments outside Northern Ireland; including games with players from other unions helps calibrate our rating system to keep it on a par with other union's systems.

Inductees for this period include

  • James Barbour (Ballynafeigh)
  • Ben Campbell (QUB)
  • Bobby Campbell (Ballynafeigh)
  • Edward Doak (Ballynafeigh)
  • Liam Ferris (Ballynafeigh)
  • Milad Foozoni (QUB)
  • Billy Jackson (Ballynafeigh)
  • Ben McBride (Mallusk)
  • James Shaw (Ballynafeigh)
  • James Weir (Ballynafeigh)

These and other registered players can view their game and rating histories from the Membership List
